Biography
Hiban Miah was born on 17 October 1981 in Tikrit, Iraq to a Sunni Muslim family of Arabs, and he served in the Iraqi Army as a corporal when the United States invaded the country in 2003. Upon demobilization following the fall of Saddam Hussein, Miah refused to lay down his arms, and he joined al-Qaeda in Iraq to fight against the American occupation. Miah was a member of Samir Moradi's insurgent cell, and the two of them succeeded in turning back an American offensive in Operation Mutraqa. Miah was allegedly the bomb-maker of the cell, using IEDs to attack American patrols in the region. At the end of the US presence in Iraq in 2011, Miah left the resistance and became a liquorice vendor.
